Last Breakfast Skate for Eastbourne Sk8school Sk8 M8s - Review

An excellent attendance for what was probably the last breakfast skate Eastbournes skaters will see for 2008. We’ll start them again in 2009. If the weather is exceptional and demand warrants, we might roll out one more time, but I have my doubts - and besides there are so many other activities we already have in the pipeline for this Winter!

As usual we gathered up at the turning circle for 9am(ish) and as it was probably the last one, people made a special effort - in fact we saw many people that we had not seen for ages!

The gathering process went on for quite a while…

And from the poses - some wished it was warmer! (Which is one of the reasons we stop around October).

Of course “Quad God” was leading the “Skate Icons” - But he has not sussed his camera which is why the above shot is all blue!

Once we finally managed to gather up, we made quite a site along the prom.

Some of us were quite eager for breakfast!

Roley managed to become distinctly “un Rolly” when one of his wheels gave up the ghost half way there and he needed a pit stop to fix it.

And if you can believe it that worn out toe wheel is his “better replacement” !

Anyway we all made it and breakfast was up to its usual standard

We formed up for a little “good bye 2008″ photo or two, before heading off for a little slalom and general messing about.

The messing about seems to be a bigger feature on the way back - in fact we stopped for banter and showing off twice more…

Before finally going for the last cup of tea at the cafe.

Tremendous!
